Chris King Precision Components 1976-2001

Chris conceived the first Chris King Component in 1976 to address a frustration shared by many cyclists: Even the ‘best’ headsets were basically disposable on road bikes and all were completely unacceptable once mountain bikes entered into the scene.

The shop was small in those earliest years. Packaging was often a plastic sandwich bag and promotion and distribution consisted largely of driving about the

country, seeding the market one shop at a time.

But soon, a word of mouth reputation was spreading and within a few years demand was growing faster than supply could fill it.

Today, our components are still made with the same personal attention to quality that originally made them famous. Chris King Precision Components remain the undisputed choice for those who demand the best.

the Chris King headsets 25 years

For 25 years, the Chris King headset has been the cornerstone of our reputation. A meticulous attention to detail and an absolutely uncompromising insistence on quality has helped us develop a vast and loyal following throughout the entire cycling community.

Our fundamental philosophies have changed little over the years. Our headsets are still made exclusively on our premises and to the highest possible standards. The materials we use are the best we can buy. Many of our processes are proprietary and were developed to specifically address weaknesses in ‘the way things have always been done.’

NoThreadSet™ for all threadless systems

Devolution™ NoThreadSet™ for installing 1-1/8” forks on 1-1/4” frames or 1” forks on 1-1/8” frames

Our bearings are at the heart of our headsets’ success. We make them ourselves, again, because the ‘accepted standards’ are simply not good enough for our goals. Our bearings are made from surgical grade stainless steels and are completely user serviceable. Constant contact seals can easily be removed and reinstalled, yet provide an impervious barrier to even the most abusive riding environments.

The warranty on our headsets is 10 years, though we often see headsets as old as 12 or 15 years. Most of these have out lasted multiple frames and endured thousands of miles, yet still run like new.

NoThreadSet

The NoThreadSet™ headset is designed for use with threadless fork attachment

systems. It is available in 1”, 1”bmx, 1-1/8”, and 1-1/4” standard sizes as well as our two exclusive Devolution™ sizes that reduce 1-1/8” frames to use 1” forks or 1-1/4” frames to use 1-1/8” forks (see page 10). The 1” and 1-1/8” sizes are also available in titanium.

Since all of our headsets share the same cups, NoThreadSet™ conversion kits are also available for converting existing Chris King headsets to a threadless system.

The cycling industry is an industry where people are motivated by passion. We love bikes and believe in preserving the opportunity to spend time on the roads and trails.

Concern for the environment and an active promotion of a healthy and enjoyable lifestyle naturally leads us to act responsibly and do all we can to mitigate our impact on the environment.

Joe, 18 miles from work, just up the hill from Chris’ house

Devolution

Our Devolution™ headsets were designed specifically to address the

frustrating variation in frame and fork size standards. Both sizes step frames down to the next size fork, but neither require the use of any additional shims or adaptors. They are also available as Devolution™ conversion kits to work with existing Chris King headset cups.

The new 1-1/8” to 1” Devolution™ is sized to fit an 1-1/8” frame (e.g., the new road/ cross standard) but use a standard 1” fork.

The 1-1/4” to 1-1/8” Devolution™ will adapt your 1-1/4” frame to use an 1-1/8” fork, widening the available options for owners of the endangered ‘Evolution’ sized (1-1/4”) frames.

Careful consideration goes into sourcing basic materials such as barstock. In addition to seeking the finest quality available, we’ve chosen to only use domestically produced metals. The methods used to produce metal barstock in many foreign countries include strip mining, clear cutting, and the burning of rain forests to make charcoal for smelting ores. We simply refuse to support such practices.

GripNut

In designing the GripNut™ headset, we took an annoyance that most people

simply accepted – that threaded headsets loosen when ridden hard – and addressed it with an innovative solution. This unique design incorporates a threaded collet that locks down on the fork threads when tightened.

The GripNut™ is available in 1”, 1”bmx, 1-1/8”, and 1-1/4” sizes. The 1” GripNut™ is also available in titanium. Because of the integrated design, the GripNut™ cannot be used with spacers or a cable hanger.

Since all of our headsets share the same cups, GripNut™ conversion kits are also available for converting existing Chris King headsets to a GripNut™ system.

In our facilities, we recycle or reuse everything possible.

From paper, card board, and plastics to packaging materials, aluminum (from cans and production), and oil (from chips and machines and filtered from the air), nothing is wasted.

Our entire 40,000 sq.ft. facility has at least 9 recycling dumpsters yet only one for trash.

Matt, 226 miles from work, at nationals

2Nut

Fundamentally unchanged since the first Chris King headset was

introduced 25 years ago, the 2Nut™ headset is still the one to use for triathletes, cyclocrossers, and any others who require the use of spacers and/or cable hangers with a threaded fork. It is available in all of our standard colors and the 1”, 1”bmx, 1-1/8”, and 1-1/4” sizes.

Since all of our headsets share the same cups, 2Nut™ conversion kits are also available for converting existing Chris King headsets to a 2Nut™ system.

Our sponsorship/rider support program focuses directly on those working to develop the future of the sport (e.g., through trail maintenance, alternative transportation, advocacy, or junior development) and less on the traditional ‘who has the longest race resume’ hierarchy.

spacers

We often see 10 or 15 year-old headsets still functioning

Headset spacers are an important link in setting up your headset properly. If they are

not faced flat to the stem and headtube and parallel to the steerer tube, there will be little you can do to achieve a proper adjustment. Our precision headset spacers are made to the same exacting standards as our headsets and are, of course, the best you can buy. They are available in

Chris King headset cup press and baseplate setting tool adaptors help protect your headset’s bearings and baseplate (often referred to as the crown race) during installation and make sure that all pressfits are even and straight.

Complete sets include both press tool and baseplate setting tool adaptors for 1”, 1-1/8” and 11/4” sizes. Each size is also available separately. Press adaptors are available for all common brands of press tools.

Bringing technology in-house to control and improve it is an obsession of ours and anodizing was one of the final major processes. Our new, custom designed anodizing line is fully automated, lab quality, and, best of all, recycles 100% of the water used. There is not even a drain in the floor.

the long move to upstate California Shasta Lake, California

Chris King Precision Components are usually in such high demand that they can be a little hard to come by. A common response to our quoted lead times is “Why don’t you all just buy more machines and hire more people?” Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. However, there are things we can do.

Last year we relocated our entire facility from Santa Barbara to far northern California. It has been

the single largest and most complicated project we have ever undertaken and, on top of the heavy order volume all winter, it is understated to say: We have been kept very busy.

But we are already benefiting from the new technologies we have added and the bigger and better work force is proving to be a tremendous asset. Over all, we have better control over our resources, which in turn allows us to maintain quality as we continue to grow.

Though this move has been a lot of hard work, it was necessary and a part of what will allow us to maintain our standards of excellence while providing ever improving availability. We look forward to 25 more years of manufacturing the best possible bicycle components.

the Chris King hubs a reputation of their own

Over the years, the Chris King hubs have developed a reputation as some of the most exclusive and highly sought after products in the cycling industry. Built around our patented RingDrive™ engagement mechanism and designed for straightforward user serviceability, Chris King hubs are both well designed and innovative.

As with our headsets, all Chris King hubs feature our own in-house designed and

classic

The Chris King classic hubset is available for both road and off-road riding. Its

extremely low weight (112g for the front and 268g for the rear) and classic design simultaneously answer the prayers of both the practical and the weight conscious by offering traditionally spoked (i.e., easily serviceable) wheels that are lighter than most of the prepackaged wheelsets. Still, unlike most ultralight components, the patented RingDrive™ engagement system, a 19.5mm custom designed axle, and our legendary bearings make this hubset durable enough for even the heaviest touring loads and most abusive back country terrain. Bolton axles are also available.

With all of our products, our goal is to make them as good as they can possibly be. Our patented RingDrive™ engagement system is a recent example. It boasts nearly instant engagement, a resistance to torque many times stronger than the closest competitor, and simple, user friendly serviceability.

options

The classic hubset is available in a variety of configurations to match most frame

and fork designs. The front hub is available in two hubshell designs: ‘Wide’ for maximum wheel strength and stability and ‘narrow’ for extra clearance on thicker legged forks or for building a more aerodynamic wheel.

The rear hubs are available in 135mm, 140mm, and 145mm axle spacing with aluminum or stainless steel driveshells. Both are available with bolt-on axles.

Total quality requires more than just a great product.

Our customer and technical services staff is always available to walk you through any service or repair questions you may have. We will even take in any Chris King product for a complete inspection and any necessary maintenance or repairs. Most of the time this service costs no more than the shipping to us and an occasional replacement part.

disc

The Chris King disc hubset adapts the proven strength and performance of our

classic hubs with the ability to mount disc brakes. By using a disc rotor adaptor system rather than mounting the rotors directly to the hubshells, they can be used with most disc brake systems or even without any disc at all.

The oversized 19.5mm (completely through the bearings) axles resist the twists and flex associated with disc brakes and suspension frames while high flanges build strong wheels. For added strength and stiffness, a bolton axle is available (rear only).

Originally designed for cross country use, our hubs are also some of the lightest available (150g front; 282g rear).

The cycling industry is infamous for changing standards with each new model year leaving bike owners unable to take advantage of future upgrades. With products that out last fads, model years, and often bikes, this could be a problem.

Rather than mount the rotors directly to the hubshells, our disc hubs use adaptors, offering maximum flexibility as the Brian, 8 miles from work, near Shasta Dam

technology and standards continue to develop.

single speed

The Chris King single speed hubset represents the purest application of our hub

design and technology. Wheel builds are kept simple with identical flange diameters and center to flange measurements on the front and rear hubs while the single, interchangeable gear offers an adjustable chain line. The rear single speed hub uses the same RingDrive™ cassette mechanism as all of our hubs and features hollow, stainless steel FunBolts™ that solidly attach your wheel to the frame yet are lighter than many quick-releases. Stainless steel cogs are available in 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 tooth sizes; aluminum cogs are available in 16, 17, and 18 tooth sizes.

At the time we wrote this catalog, over 30% of our employees were participating regularly in our ride-to-work/ alternative transportation incentive program. With a goal of encouraging all of our employees to ride their bikes to work, our plan is the most aggressive and successful we’ve ever heard of.

bmx

The Chris King bmx hubset has set the standard for performance on the bmx track

since the day it was first introduced. The cassette design is preferred for its light weight, reliability, and flexibility while the patented RingDrive™ engagement mechanism offers positive, nearly instant engagement with a total of 72 starting pedal positions per rotation.

The Chris King bmx hubs feature interchangeable gears and use our own dedicated cogs. The KingKogs™ are available in stainless steel in 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 tooth sizes and in aluminum in 16, 17, and 18 tooth sizes.

When the local air quality control board examined our shop, it was one of the cleanest buildings they’d ever tested.

quality both inside and outside our shop.

tandem

The wider spacing, lower gearing, and extra weight of the typical tandem setup

requires stiff and strong equipment. The Chris King rear tandem hubs provide just that.

Both the 145mm and 160mm hubs feature the rapid, positive engagement of our patented RingDrive™ engagement mechanism with up to four times the torque resistance of the next closest competitor. The specially designed bolt-on/quick-release axles are stiffer and are equipped with stainless steel biters on each end to prevent slippage. Both hubs can be paired with either our classic low flange or new high flange front hubs (see pages 24 and 28).

Most people are happier and more comfortable working under natural sunlight. Nearly all areas in our buildings are lit 50-100% by natural light let in through clearstories along each roof peak. Office areas rarely require electric lights during the day and the shop floor utilizes a multiphase metal halide lighting system to maintain an optimum amount of light Tandem racers in the Lamurian, 9 miles from the shop

The Chris King hub service tool kit is a beautiful component in its own right.

beyond the bottom line promoting lifestyle

For us, cycling is more than just a job and the responsibility to give back to the sport and support its future is common in many job descriptions throughout our company. Over the years, we have learned to use our success and respected position in the industry to help accomplish these goals.

Each year we travel to select cycling events as part of our technical support program. We target

events that promote cycling as a lifestyle and avoid those that focus only on the elite racers and commercialism that obscures the very reason many of us started cycling in the first place. At many of these events, we have become known for our freshly brewed coffee, breakfasts, and fajita lunches offered free to those who happen by throughout the day.

Our Gourmet Century, held annually in Santa Ynez, California, takes group rides to a new level. At this intimate event riders are treated to the beautiful country side of Central California’s wine country as well as a solid day of great food.

For a list of our planned events check the calendar page on our website, www.chrisking.com, or give us a call.

the lifestyle accessories for before, during, and after the ride

To different people, riding a bicycle can mean many different things. For some it is about challenge and competition, for others it is the most practical and efficient form of transportation. Some relish the freedom and others simply count on their regular ride as time well spent outdoors and with friends. But whatever your motivation, one thing we all share in common is a passion and enthusiasm for bikes.

If you’ve come this far in our catalog, it is safe to say that you too are described by the above paragraph and the following section might feature some products you just cannot live without.

coffee

At our shop, coffee is more than just a favorite beverage or daily ritual. It is the very

fuel that starts many of our days and carries the shop through the afternoon doldrums. It is served in our cafe and available throughout the day.

We currently offer two blends: ‘Rocket Brew,’ a deep dark, and oily French roast, and ‘Machinist’s Brew,’ a hearty, but slightly more mild German style blend.

Each is available in 1lb bags or as part of our Coffee Kit along with a tin, mug, and brewing instruction manual.

We’re always tasting new beans so check our website, www.chrisking.com, or call for our current offerings.

Along with cycling, good food is one of our passions.

So when we designed our new buildings we made sure to add a full commercial kitchen to our ‘in-house technologies.’

Cafe Sabado (named for our late shop cat, Sabado) runs as a stand alone restaurant featuring a full time chef, a subsidized meal plan for employees, and enough capacity to fully cater large events.

clothing

When we toured the Patagonia warehouse in Reno, Nevada for ideas on buiding an

environmentally conscious building, we got sidetracked for a bit on its organic cotton movement. Once aware of the option, we couldn’t resist. All of our t-shirts now use the BeneficialTs™ blanks which feature 100% organically grown, pesticide free cotton made without the use of chlorine bleach, azo dyestuffs, or heavy metals.

In addition to the new shirts, we also offer a variety of hats as well as the ever popular shop jacket. In an effort to keep up with the furious pace of fashion, we’ll try to change our designs as often as possible. Be sure to call or check our website, www.chrisking.com, for our latest offerings.

Our cafe’s late namesake, Sabado, was rescued from the Humane Society where he was considered mean and unadoptable. He proved them wrong and soon became a favorite of all who visited our shop. Ratone (a bruiser with no hair on his tail), Swirly (born wild and timid), and Blem (a runt without a tail) were also rescued from the status of ‘unlikely candidates’ and are now part of the King Cycle Group staff.

One of the most polluting aspects of developed land is the rain runoff from roofs and parking lots. When designing our new facilities, we included a dry creek system crisscrossing the lot. Rain water is directed into these creeks and allowed to filter through the rock and soil before draining into the gutters or naturally into the native creek off the back of our parking lot.

the bottom bracket not yet

We’ve already used the ‘it’s still in testing’ excuse and the ‘we’re still tinkering’ and ‘we won’t let go until it’s perfect’ lines. Those who have talked to us may have already been asked the rhetorical question, ‘With the demand for our other products growing as fast as we can keep up, how could we introduce a new product?’ We have even heard some speculate that it is urban legend or just a cruel joke propagated to get attention.

So what’s the truth? All of it – except the urban legend/cruel joke part...

In 1992, we first introduced the idea of making a bottom bracket based on our bearings and is consistent with our reputation for quality. Prototypes were already in the field and a patent had already been applied for. In the following year, while still barely keeping pace with the demand for our headsets, we released our first completely new product in over 15 years: The Chris King classic hubset. Orders flooded in faster than we expected and we were immediately backordered.

We still have not caught up with the demand for the products we currently offer and we are still tinkering with the final design of the bottom bracket striving for perfection. We got the patent and helped develop the new ISIS spline design, but there are still a few things we would like to test. It is for real and is not a joke. It is just: ‘Not yet.’
